New York City from Tel Aviv, Nov 14–23: $3,982 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $799 per person, $108 below the highest fare we saw
- Pod 51 is rated 8.2 from 9,510 reviews, with free cancellation
- Broadway, the Met and the High Line are all reachable by subway
The catch: There's one stop and 31h 15m of travel round trip, Pod 51 is a bunk pod with a shared bathroom, and a checked bag is about $160 for two.
Worth it if the two of you want nine nights of shows, museums and walking on a budget; skip it if you need a private bathroom.
Worth it if you're fine with a bunk pod and one stop. The trip is $3,982 for two, all in: $1,597 for the flights plus Pod 51 at $2,089 and its $296 property fee, with taxes and fees included but not a checked bag or spending money. You'd fly out Saturday, Nov 14 and leave New York Monday, Nov 23, 2026, which is nine nights, on ITA Airways (AZ) with one stop.

Why now
The fare we found is $799 per person. That's $108 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, or 12% less, out of 12 offers we checked. All in, the trip comes to $3,982 for two, covering the flights and nine nights at Pod 51 with its $296 property fee included. A checked bag (about $160 for two) and spending money aren't in that number. In mid-November, New York usually sees highs of 45–55°F and lows near 36°F, and most days are overcast. Plan on a coat and scarf and a trip built around indoor time: Broadway, the Met, MoMA. With nine nights, you can take the city at a walking pace after a long trip in. The hotel has free cancellation if your plans change. These prices were all in when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a cold-weather city trip for two adults who like to walk. Spend your days on museums, markets and bridges, and your nights at a Broadway show or watching the sunset over the skyline. It suits a couple or two friends who are happy to share a small room and spend their money on the city instead. You set the pace: nine nights is enough to do Midtown properly, then head out to Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan.
